Keep East Potomac Park a park for everyone, and a muni for everyone.
The future of the Hains Point peninsula is uncertain. President Trump has said he hopes to host a major championship here, and early renderings show a dramatically expanded golf footprint. Park users and the golfers who actually play this muni are on the same page: keep East Po public, keep the muni a muni, and don't turn the whole peninsula into a tournament venue.
About us
We are neighbors, not lobbyists.
Save East Po is an independent, grassroots coalition of DMV neighbors, runners, cyclists, picnickers, fishers, families, and the golfers who actually play this course, who all want the same thing: keep East Potomac Park public, accessible, and affordable.
Park users and East Po golfers are on the same side here. Nobody is asking for a championship venue. The regulars who've played this muni for years would lose their course; the runners, cyclists, picnickers, and fishers who use the rest of the peninsula would lose access and open space. We're not anti-golf, we're pro-muni, pro-park, and pro-public access.
This is being decided at the federal level, and the only thing that breaks through is a broad coalition showing how much East Po means to every kind of DMV resident.
One of DC's best outdoor spaces
From the cherry blossoms to the Hains Point loop to a century-old muni course, East Potomac Park is where every kind of DMV resident shows up, to run, picnic, fish, golf, and gather.
A muni, not a major
President Trump has said he hopes to host a major here, and early renderings show a dramatically expanded course. Plans aren't final, but the direction is clear, and it's not what East Po golfers or park users are asking for.
A broad coalition
Park users and golfers usually don't agree on much. On this, we do: keep East Po public, keep the muni a muni, and keep access open for everyone.
